SAP Basis is structured in the form of a three-layer model and consists of the following components:
Instead of data maintenance and application development, SAP Basis is more about providing and maintaining the software environment on which the data resides and is processed. Therefore, SAP Basis is an important core of any SAP infrastructure and is required in both predecessor versions such as R/3 and current versions such as S/4HANA 2021.
A user name without a restricted character set can be a security risk. Therefore, it is advisable that you restrict the character set of the user ID. In this article you will learn where the dangers lie if you do not limit the user ID. I also explain how to eliminate this security risk.

Virtual CodeProfiler allows you to automatically identify risks in ABAP code and correct errors. CodeProfiler for ABAP is fully integrated with SAP and is based on Virtual Forge's patented global data and control flow analysis. This solution helps ensure that applications written in ABAP have no security, compliance or quality gaps. As a result, SAP systems are protected from unauthorized access and meet the requirements of internal and external auditors. At the same time, CodeProfiler improves the performance of SAP systems and reduces costs.
If you now want to change the permission data, you will be asked for values for the appropriate organisation levels. First enter a tilde (~) and define the value later in the derived roles. Maintain the permissions you want and then generate the master role. Adding the organisational level to the master role Step 2: Define derived roles Create derived roles Assign the master role After you have created the master role, it is the derived roles that are in the process. To do this, re-enter a suitable role name via the PFCG. In our example, it is called "findepartment_d01". For a better overview, it is usually useful to name and number the derivatives after the master roles. You can also define the roles according to a different scheme. After you have created the role, you must then enter the master role in the Derive from Role field in the Description tab. Confirm the Auto Enquiries. Customise the Organisation Levels Now go to the "Menu" tab. There you can see that the data from the master role was automatically copied. Since the role has not yet been generated, the Permissions tab is currently highlighted in red. Therefore, call "Change Permissions Data". The first call should automatically open a dialogue to maintain the organisational levels, as they are still empty. If this is not the case, or if you would like to adjust the organisational levels again in a later case, you can also access them via the button Ordende (see screenshot). If everything worked well, you can now see that the permissions were also automatically taken from the master role. If you generate the role, the permission tab will also appear green. Congratulations, you have successfully created a derived role! Repeat step 2 with the additional derivatives to adjust the organisation levels accordingly.
